Tom Brady was feeling better and back at work on Thursday.

``It was nothing. I feel great, nothing at all,'' the quarterback said of the illness that kept him away from practice on Wednesday. His absence on the busiest practice day of the week simply presents one more hurdle for him and his team to overcome.

``We've become a team that's more resilient and mentally tough,'' he said. ``I think we've proved over the course of the season that we are that.''

He did all he could to say the Patriots are moving forward as usual

``It was good to be out there moving around good. The team was practicing good. That's the big positive for us,'' he said. ``Everything's important at this point. You have six days to prepare, and you're on the clock.''

Brady spoke about how much the Denver defense challenged his New England offensive unit in the first meeting between the teams in November.

``We turned it over three times in the first quarter and couldn't do anything and they played good,'' he said of the contest that saw Denver build a 24-0 lead at halftime before New England rallied for a 34-31 victory in overtime.
